Along with Costa Rica, it’s also become a top yoga spot in North America due to the diverse and ever expanding range of stylish and rejuvenating wellness and yoga retreats in Mexico.

From luxurious beachfront yoga resorts in trendy Tulum, to yoga and surf camps and even shamanic jungle retreats and yoga teacher training courses, there is no shortage of choice when looking for a retreat in Mexico.
Pin Me 😉
The best places to head for retreats in Mexico include Tulum, Puerto Vallarta, Cabo and Puerto Escondido and Mazunte in Oaxaca, but you’ll find retreats all over the country. The best time to go on a yoga retreat in Mexico is during the dry, sunny months from December to April.
Because there are a plethora of Mexico yoga retreats it’s important to read reviews before you book and make sure your retreat is memorable for all the right reasons.
I always use BookYogaRetreats.com, its like the Booking.com for yoga retreats! I love how you can read reviews of the yoga retreats from people who’ve already been there so you can be sure your retreat will be a great experience.
